MceEpg2XmlTv

[howudodat]

To zhed:

Are you not following the tutorial on the wiki?

Of course I am, without that I would be totally lost

Run-epg.bat that is included in the converter must be edited to use your own headend

I have both edited the Run-epg.bat and ran the commands from the command line. There is no difference in typing the commands in manually in a command prompt and running them from a batch file (except for an increased chance of typos). Irregardless the end result is the same. MceEpgDownloader hangs.

To whurlston:
Any idea why MceEpgdownloader just hangs at deleting the guide? I've let it run up to 10 minutes.

Peter
PS. I've moved the grabber into a folder with the *exact* same structure as the wiki with no difference in results.

No idea. There may have been a recent update that breaks it but I'm not sure. I no longer have an MCE05 machine so I would not be able to test it. Is it just one lineup that you need? If so, you may need to just let MCE handle the downloads and just run the converter (MceEpg2XmlTv). Just set the Mce Epg to download about an hour before the GBPVR epg update. You can use the following utility to set the download time for MCE: http://blogs.msdn.com/peterrosser/archiv...83349.aspx

ok, I'll run it that way for a while and see what happens.
PS. If you want me to run this code in a debugger I have VS2005 and have been a programmer for 20+ years. I dont do much .net but can hack my way through it.

I thought Ihad uploaded the source for the downloader but I see now that I haven't. I'll get it uploaded some time tonight or tomorrow and you're welcome to take a crack at it.

I'll test with my MCE 2005 again. Home in a few hours

Well, my fully updated MCE 2005 downloads no problem. It even went through two different headends, so the swicthing seemed fine.

Sorry I can't tell what else...

[zehd]

After installing Visual Studio 2008 VB.net, and running further updates, the donwloader errors,and then the converter errors. I suspect that the converter is erroring because the downloader botched...

Checking things out further... the converter will not start without a error. I delete the xml config file and the 2005 .config file to try and do defaults, and it errors. Still possibly because the MCE epg store was botched...

Frank,

This is an error I've seen already. If you blow away the application data\...\EPG folder and have MCE re-download the guide it should get past that error. At least it did for me. In fact if you check in that folder you'll probably find the XML file is not there, but a sdf file with the same name is.

Peter

[whurlston]

^ What he said.

howudodat, something occured to me. Do you have the MCE services disabled by any chance? If so, try enabling them and retrying the downloader.

[howudodat]

most of the mce services are shutdown, but not ehsched. I fired them all back up (I think there's 3 of them total) and still get the same result. I dont really have a problem letting MCE do it's thing, and I might grab the source and see if I can find anything and let you know.

Right now I have some other more significant problems that I need to get resolved (as posted in the support forum).

Having switched over from MP, my family is screaming at me because of those issues. I might get strong-armed, or maybe I'll run both at the same time until I can get it all up and going.
